Building Qt fails with missing dxgil_3.h

[TomA]

I'm trying to build qt-everywhere-src-5.14.2 on Windows 10 using MinGW.
I get: fatal error: dxgi1_3.h: No such file or directory
Seems the multimedia module is not successfully built.
I'm building for DirectShow: Checking for DirectShow... yes
What is this dxgi header and why is it missing - where can I get it?
Sounds like a DirectX thing but I can not even find this in Windows SDK.

Were you able to resolve this issue? I just tried to build Qt 5.15 (skipped the 5.14 releases) and bumped into the same error.

Any hint of where to look would be much appreciated.

I'm building on a docker of Fedora 30 with MinGW tools. The 1_3.h file can be obtained through the msys installer on Windows, but it makes a compile error, however, replacing the include directive in the _p_p.h file to include 1_2.h works for that file. Later on, there is a compile error missing some #defines which must be copied from the 1_3 file. It's a rats nest, but its possible.
